Description

Adds an in-app notification when a newer version of OpenScreen is published on GitHub Releases, plus a Help → Check for Updates… menu entry for explicit checks. Previously, users on older versions had no way to learn that a new release existed without manually visiting the GitHub Releases page.

The notification presents three actions:

  • Download — opens the release page in the browser
  • Don't remind again — disables future automatic checks
  • — soft-dismisses just this version (a future newer release will still notify)

Motivation

Faced it myself

Surface update-check failures via console.error instead of swallowing
them silently, and extract a shared resetUpdateCheckMocks helper used
by both maybeShowUpdateToast and forceCheckForUpdate suites.
